Dao? Tao?

Chinese sounds are not quite the same as English sounds, so there is more than one way to write Chinese words in English (or "Romanize") them. The Wade-Giles Romanization system says, "Tao Te Ching," while the Hanyu Pinyin more commonly used today says, "Daodejing," for example.

This online Chinese Romanization Converter lets you type one English version of a Chinese word, and it will show you what the other common English version of that word is, so you can try searching things under that spelling, too.
